If you a new to shared inquiry or just want to brush up on the concept and basic rules here is a link to a good handbook on the topic from the Great Books Foundation:

This group is for anyone interested in philosophy. We will engage with a recognized masterpiece and seminal work in philosophy from the Axial Age to present day contributions in continental philosophy and critical theory or a work from world literature of any age as well as analytical philosophy of our own. Food and beverage will be available. The only prerequisite for participation is an inquiring mind, and a willingness to respect the opinion and knowledge of others, in open dialogue.
